To provide zeolite formed beads each concurrently having both high physical strength and excellent water adsorption performance, also to provide a production process by which such zeolite formed beads can easily be produced, and further to provide an adsorption/removal process for adsorbing and removing a specific component(s) such as moisture or water in a gas or liquid, by using the zeolite formed beads.

Each of the zeolite formed beads consists of zeolite, kaolin type clay and an inorganic dispersant. The production process of the zeolite formed beads comprises: dispersing powdery zeolite, kaolin type clay and an inorganic dispersant into water to obtain an aqueous dispersion; subjecting the aqueous dispersion to mixing, kneading, forming and drying, to obtain dry beads; and heating and activating the beads. In this adsorption/removal process, the zeolite formed beads are used.
